Installing Python3 on MacOS using brew
#2
I have managed to move forward with my issue by following the suggestions in this post:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3600...stallation


Now I am able to get the information by calling python --version and python3 --version.


I have installed latest python3 ( 3.9.5 I believe), but python3 --version returns 3.8.2 for some reason. Why is that?


Python has been installed as
  /usr/local/bin/python3

Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
  /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/libexec/bin

You can install Python packages with
  pip3 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
  /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages

tkinter is no longer included with this formula, but it is available separately:
  brew install [email protected]

See: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python
==> Summary
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.9.5: 3,078 files, 54.5MB
Lukass-Air:~ Lukas$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.2
